When I copy the line from the script and run it from the command line it works. touch "/cygdrive/e/wsus/wsus_update_report.out" When I run the script it gives me this error: sys-scheduler AT backup /cygdrive/e/wsus $ ./patch.sh + ./patch.sh WSUS Client Update Report for Tue-03-27-2007 touch: cannot touch `/cygdrive/e/wsus/wsus_update_report.out\r': No such file or directory ./patch.sh: line 11: $'\r': command not found ./patch.sh: line 13: $'\r': command not found ./patch.sh: line 15: $'\r': command not found ./patch.sh: line 16: syntax error near unexpected token `$'{\r'' '/patch.sh: line 16: `function checkreportingerrors { The thing that is making it hard for me to troubleshoot this is that I have never scene the \r error and have no idea what it means. :/ Does anybody have any suggestions or ideas...
